Folk-rock singer who was considered one of the best songwriters of his generation. He was best known for his songs from the film "Good Will Hunting" and songs that focused on drug addiction, failed relationships, self-loathing, suicide etc. His music was very sad, indeed.
He started out as an indie singer in Portland, but gained more recognition when Gus Van Sant decided to use some of his songs from his 1997 album called "Either/Or" (which is probably his best album). Smith also wrote a song for the movie called "Miss Misery," which earned him an Academy Award nomination. Unfortunately, he lost to Celine Dion (It was the "Titanic" year).
Sadly, Smith took his own life in Fall of 2003 by plunging a knife to his heart. He was 34
Smith has done 6 albums; "Roman Candle," self-titled album "Elliott Smith," "Either/Or," "XO," "Figure 8" and a posthumous release called "From a Basement on a Hill."

Someone: Two hour torture? Talk about being perpetuating.

Get the plutocracy mug.enaB started off as just another joke at school, but me and a few of my friends took it and turned it into something else. enaB is not just a clan its a new way of life. enaB evolved around the punk scene, but what are punkers taken as?... Trouble making drugees that wont go far in life. But if you knew me and my friends, we are not like that. We are people that live our lives one step at a time, and do not regret anything we do. enaB is about being yourself, living your life to the fullest. Anyone can be enaB there is no dress style, specific music, or atitude you have to have. Its about being who you are, not falling under a label. You choose who you are, not other people. We do not care what people think about us, because we know who we are. enaB is not about hate, violence, or crime, its about having fun and living your life in a positive way. And so I leave you with the question "How will you live your life?" enaB ITS A FUCKING REVOLUTION!!!
enaB its the way i live my life
